Spring Outing horse stepping stone
Usha is Anhui Chizhou Guichi a river 20 km west of town, the town is only 1 square kilometer area around the town has been built since the Qing Dynasty, the town residents to operate the main commercial shops, surrounded by hills mixed grain and oil-rich areas, It is far from beautiful mountains. Because of remoteness and history in this place also finding out what earth-shaking event.
However, the simple plain town, is also due to appear in remote and quiet. Sitting in the vague shapes of grass color screens where you can listen to frogs birds twitter, appreciate rice harvest flowers inside the village, said the rustic charm, you can also walk through the river bank, sat watching in the summer shade trees and fan the autumn Xiao Xiao Lamu. In a quiet Dan Yuan, I count the fleeting diffuse conversion.
Spring comes early in the year again. Jiangnan, yielding a time when the grass is growing in March, I also took students to visit a local one little-known place - a stepping stone for horses.
Along the river bank, going up river, about 89 kilometers, you can reach. I have decided to bring their students along the river walk.
Amid the rain that ended a few days, but also a sunny good day. Riverside is also Fuzhao foam of humilis and withered reed, verdant grass Tantoutannao ground floor has been all over the river bank and outside, deep one, light one. Huang Cancan to rape twists and turns along the river bank to probe the distant end, seem to have given the green river bank on the golden embroidered lace. Cattle, water buffalo in the woods Kongkuo Nennen slowly munching grass shoots, when we passed them around, they would stop us curiously colorful clothing of tourists moo, moo to call out. Some even untamed land red we walk a few steps, frightened timid female students shouting known until discovery came when it did not pursue, in turn surrounded by a pile issued silver bell-like laughter.
Hazy light ripples river in our feet. An hour later, we saw a hunched Cang River abruptly black hills, bottom lined with a pile of rocks next to a silver-white tile with a month bud-shaped beach. The students cheered. Stepping stone to the horse.
Horse Stepping Stone is a Guichi to the crossing of the river, one of Zongyang. Chen Yucheng year from crossing the river and tried to Taiping Tongcheng join the Qing were blocking. In 1938, Japanese troops landed from horse stepping stone, all the way burning, even in the vicinity of the trees at the ginkgo tree several feet Wai Keng (commonly known as white fruit trees) is also spared, be burned. Today, the horse is the trees on the Rock Hill onions cage, but are mostly bush, only the foot of the other side of the entrance to the village there are two old trees surround-foot diameter, was known locally as "fairy tree", since I know very little about plants at this time the tree has not sprouted, and I do not know their true identity. Ginkgo has long been the original Shue Estate, the relocation of the villagers, the only two surviving "fairy tree" silently witnessed the vicissitudes of history here.
Rock Hill is the only horse here in the hills. Sweep aside the clutter of the shrubs, but also can be found and the Peak of a mountainside tunnel section, which is the mark of the last struggle of the Kuomintang army. With mountains overlooking, river boats Rusuo, mountain foot, the students take pictures and some small groups, some sitting alone river stones, meditation meditation. Impatient students have been erected in the crevices of the stone riverside stove and began a romantic picnic. This is "Waves淘尽gallant heroes of bygone ages," ah.
Under the towering rocky mountain horses with a haphazard stones, are naturally grown, is said to have been extended to the middle of the river, and every rise in the water when the vessel ran aground occasionally accidents happen. Fell into the water, the exposed surface of the strange, and some hill-like solitary Wu was to stretch the sky, and some, such as pages ramp into the sand, and some two stone Xiangzhi, as the thin strip of sky shape, and some just like the saddle, was abandoned in where, as the fancy riding seat. It is fascinating to have a stone in the middle is even water ripped through, no Fuzao of the force, all work of nature.
